Angry Instrument Panel and Air Conditioning switches and gauges wont light up...

Ok,

I was leaving class and headed home and all of a sudden my gauges went out. It's not a big deal during the day and at night its just annoying.. I checked my fuses and the #1 FUSE was blown. So I replaced it and tried the lights and the fuse blew. Now I've done all the wiring in my truck and I went through and couldn't find if I had a short or not but my question is.. Where should I start to solve this problem? Is the fuse the problem or is it a short somewhere or are the bulbs out? Its been awhile so again.. I don't know where to start haha.

I also have my (1) P1 Rockford Fosgate 12 and Kenwood MP345 rigged up but I don't think that should be my problem is it?

Thanks anyone,
Alex

Its not just a lightbulb out if you're blowing fuses. Unhook the power from your amp, then replace the fuse, then try the lights...If it still blows, then u know its not the system.
